Sibanye Gold Limited
(Reg. No. 2002/031431/06)

Trading Statement
In compliance with paragraphs 3.4(b) shareholders are advised
that earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the
six months ended 30 June 2013 will be at least 20% less than the
prior year. A further announcement will be released once a more
definitive range can be given.
The reason for the difference in earnings is primarily due to a
change in the number of shares in issue between the two reporting
periods.
In the 2012 reporting period, Sibanye Gold was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Gold Fields and, as at 20 June 2012, had only 1000
ordinary shares in issue. During the unbundling of Sibanye Gold,
additional shares were issued to Gold Fields, which were then
distributed to shareholders.
Sibanye Gold currently has 732 783 198 ordinary shares in issue
as at 3 May 2013. The number of shares in issue will be at least
this number at 30 June 2013. The EPS and HEPS numbers are
therefore not comparable. Once reasonable degree of certain
exists on the earnings and headline earnings on an aggregate
basis, an updated trading statement will be released.
